Apparently Paul Scholes believes Guardiola will be coming to City when his Bayern contract expires, although I take that with a pinch of salt.

I'd be delighted with either Guardiola or Klopp. Disappointed if we didn't get either though. Ancelotti's CV is great, but just don't feel he's the right man for us.
Wonder what "information" the likes of Scholes gets...

Scholes has no reason to lie and every reason to want us NOT to get Pep so hopefully his info is good. But he quite easily could have just been reading the newspapers and said that.

Pep called Scholes the best midfielder of his generation in 2011 so I wonder if they have each other on speed dial. :)

He said the same about Jack Wilshere :),

Even Hollywood wouldn't buy that conspiracy.

Interesting thoughts though.

If Bayern go out to Porto in the quarters after he caused the entire medical staff to resign, I cannot see Pep NOT being available at the end of the season.

He would probably go on another sabbatical.
He would only do that if the right job wasn't available. He isn't going to take a year holiday every couple of years so I don't know why everyone assumes he will just because he did it once whilst the jobs he may have wanted were not available.
 
Klopp by quite a margin for me. Love everything I hear about him, love his interviews, love how he develops his personnel, love his combination of observant nerdiness and youthful enthusiasm... and most importantly he strikes me as someone who could mine the coal from our youth ranks and produce diamonds. I suppose the downside is that sometimes being entrusted with such vast resources might cloud judgment and strategy; if it is Klopp we have to hope he sticks to his guns. I think he would be able to handle it. It seems a higher risk but higher reward choice.

Wouldn't want Ancelotti, though he is sort of a "safe" option in many ways. He'd be another manager on the manager wheel, whereas someone like Klopp could fall in love with the city/team/fans and become a true Blue, one of us.. He could build something. Much like he seems to have done at Dortmund. Yes, I know he's leaving them now, but listen to the way their fans speak of him, how he speaks of them... there's so much respect. I want in on that feeling. I want interesting, revealing interviews, I want heart and soul, maybe I want the "cool" option rather than the sensible one, maybe I've bought into some sort of hype, but perhaps not - I think there's really something to the man.

All that said, if Pepe is available and it's up to Txiki and Ferran, we're getting Pep.

His fallout with Bayern's medical staff means he is starting to feel the pressure and could be heading for another burnout, As much I see him as the ideal candidate I doubt he will end up at City either,

When evaluating the veracity of Scholes' musing on the subject of our next manager, posters would do well to remember that he has a very, very small penis.

still much bigger than David Beckham's though

Didn't Roy Keane say Gary Neville's was the smallest he'd ever seen?

Think he did. How this relates to any potential new manager appointment escapes me though. On topic and all that
